(form) radical


Explanation:
Hello, sumc. In my Nelson's Japanese English Character Dictionary, 基 (KI) has the definition of "radical" in chemistry.

I have a sample of the word's usage below.

I'll give you the website...one moment please.

Here's a website using the terminology:

http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2002AGUFM.A62B0159H


Perhaps it is a sulfuric acid with a chloric radical...

I was okay in chemistry...certainly not at the top of the class! But, could this make sense in your translation?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_(chemistry)

Also, Wikipedia (above) also provides a good definition of chemical radicals...

My guess for the translation of your sentence is:
The chloride radical is especially applied in the manufacturing process of acrylic emulsions.

I discovered that there are also radical anions (w/ negatively charged ions) and radical cations (w/ positively charged ions) but both are classified under "radicals." See below:

Sumc, I am not sure if this helps:
radical : Term used in chemistry with one predominant and two subsidiary, looser meanings. It most often refers to a free radical. It can also mean an ion or a functional group. So, "functional group" also appears as a definition of "radical." Like Steven, I am quite befuddled. Below is the website I got this definition from:
http://www.answers.com/topic/radical
From that site, you can go to many interesting related branch offs. :-)

Oh, thank you sumc. I'm so intent on searching that sometimes I don't see other places!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Steven Smith: It's confusing because 基 is also used for 'group' but in this context I think you're right.... What I mean is even in the context of chemistry it's usually 'group' rather than radical :)

  -> Thank you, Steven! I get what you mean. :-) I chose "radical" because I found many references to it on websites re: acrylic emulsions, too.
